  1. I mean if you live in a area that see temps that low and you should know that an EV vehicle is a poor choice. Much like if i moved to say Amsterdam, do you think it would be wise for me to buy a TRX Ram to drive around over there? Streets not even big enough to fit it down there, and your weather severely degrades electrical vehicles range and overall function were you live. Also heat pumps do not work well at those temps, much like how my split unit can not be used to heat my house when the temp drops below 5 degrees, even hyper heat models only go to -5 but they wont work all that great down that low.
  2. These pigs are not made to wheel, way to big and weak for it imo, especially the 19 to current models.
  3. Why are you looking to upgrade the stock led lighting?? Those headlights are super bright imo and give a nice throw of light on the road, why waste money? As someone said above if you do not have fog lights currently i recommend the XB Morimoto's as they give a solid aimed beam on the road were you need it and not those idiocy Amazon specials that blind all oncoming traffic. Spend the $300 for a good set of driving fog lamps imo.
  4. My 2014 has i think 5 or 6 USB inputs, of course not c as those were not invented yet. Really no reason to stop giving a plug option in the cab other than because it saved them prob a few coins per truck made. I know i don't say run a laptop in my truck, but if i was say a contractor i would most likely utilize that plug option daily. Like i said this is the result of having non truck owners deciding design input on how they are made.
  5. I have 2 or 3 of them in my 2014. I imagine they must of saved a whole 5 bucks per truck de-contenting them with so many other items they have stripped out over the years... It is so easy to see that the people at the top, not only do not drive trucks but seem to have never stepped foot into one with some of the choices they have been making over the last few years.
  6. Wow 4.56 are like drag racing gearing lmao. How does a tall gear like that work with these 8 and 10 speed transmissions, is it basically shifting through gears like every second? I would think this would make for some annoying driving characteristics using a gear like that.
  7. It is bad right now, look on Youtube and you literally have auto techs questioning if they want to continue being a mechanic because of how bad the quality is with Auto parts today. For anything that is a sensor or an engine related piece i would stick with OEM only, you will never save in the long run no matter how much cheaper that generic brand part is.
  8. Did you replace the t-stat with a AutoZone China special part or a factory AC/Delco brand?
  9. Give me a break the Patriots just beat the NFL's #1 ranked defense yesterday while those Hawks played the 50% 49er team! The week before that it was the 5th ranked NFL defense for the Patriots and next Sunday if the Patriots win it will be the NFL's currently second ranked defense in all of the NFL. Patriots have been getting tested the last few weeks now, them playing the Hawks wont be any big deal for them. Seahawks are the 6th ranked defense and will be the easiest one the Patriots will have to face if they get past the Rams in this post season and the Patriots get past the Donkey's this Sunday.
  10. From everything i have seen regarding this issue to me it is the finishing of surfaces like the crank journals, even lifters i watched a video of a guy doing a tear down and all the surfaces are rough and not smooth.
  11. Just watched another YouTube video, 2026 caddy with a 6.2 already had an engine replacement nuked a second one, another bottom end failure meaning GM has done 0 to try and fix this issue and it remains even in the new 26 model year. Sorry owners looks like to me GM is just moving on to the new gen v-8's and letting 6.2 owners to deal with this themselves. All they will do for you is replace the bad motor with a new one that has the same flaws. Also for the it's the oil weight people, i have been running 0-20 for 11 years now.... Major difference from my 6.2 verses ones made from 2019-to present is the bottom end parts are not sourced form a trash Mexican supplier called Questum Macimex!
  12. Man i couldn't imagine owning a Fullsize truck in that god forsaken corrupt state!
  13. Looks like your oil cooler lines are leaking to me.
  14. Wow you let a 4l60e go 167,000 miles before changing out it's original oil? You need to go buy a Powerball ticket because no chance in hell should that thing still be working imo. Most dont make 100k before needing a rebuild, and that is on a well maintained transmission too.
  15. Actually looks pretty nice to me, take away the middle exhaust pipes and yeah.
  16. How dare you say that......
  17. If you like Spanish pop music sure... It is all treble, no bass, with annoying lyrics that 90% of the people wont understand. This one is easy to figure out though as you need to always follow the money with the NFL. Apple halftime show, Apple just released ear buds last week that have a translation feature for the pro model that probably cost 500+ dollars.
  18. 61K on a set of truck tires is pretty good, imo they owe you nothing at this point. Unless you are cash strapped and dont have the money I would just replace all 4 as it is about that time anyways imo.
  19. These truck and suv sticker prices are due to them attaching EV losses to them, you all who have bought trucks the last few years are literally subsidizing those who buy EV's. That and the government for many models, and now that the government is out, hopefully for good, I wonder what they are going to do because as you see up above the term FO is becoming more and more prevalent! We are now at 6 figures for upper trim 1500 models which is insanity imo.
  20. Can we call it a failure yet, will GM continue to make a dead end product like this? It is not just nitch but because it is now EV, it is an ultra nitch vehicle! A way over priced and valued one at that! Insane some of the story's you can see on YouTube with guys trying to unload these things but are so far upside down that they are stuck with them, the depreciation on these are insanity. Remember the multiple cheaper models that were suppose to already be released, GM do the right thing and end this monstrosity that no one cares about anymore!
  21. Ahh Radiant Red it is then for my pick. I do like that crimson grey though too, but that darker metallic red really pops in the sun imo...
  22. Cajun Red Tin coat if they still offer it imo. It is by a far margin the best actual color option gm has had with their horrible paint selection you get with these trucks today.
  23. Her goal has been clear, maximum profits for the board. She does not care about GM as a company and it's perception among its customers, and this will come back to bite this company well after she has either retired, quit or been replaced. The damage she is doing right now will never be undone and will be permanent imo!
  24. All of these issues because Mary wanted to save GM labor cost, these are many first time and never again GM customers after this issue.
  25. I mean just keeping it simple stupid, did you try changing out the cabin filter yet?
